Common Core Standards
Speaking & Listening, Kindergarten
Speaking and Listening SL.K.4
Describe familiar people, places, things, and events and, with prompting and support, provide additional detail.
It's time for kindergartners to get their adjective on. This standard focuses on your students' ability to translate what they've experienced into words, and specifically with describing words. The more specificity the better, so as the standard suggests, students may need guidance in places where they're too vague. No, Jimmy; the sky is not green and it seems unlikely that you were a dinosaur last night. But if you were a huge blue dinosaur saving everyone from the angry green aliens in the sky, sure, we'll take those solid describing words.
